#2Based on the title, I assumed this was referring to Google's ACTUAL goat rodeo: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/05/mowing-with-goats.htm...

#3This is actually a really well-written and balanced piece, and not just a mindless "Google is Evil" rant.

#4"Their design ability might be improving, but again and again they show a lack of editing — they lack the ability to be selective about their product portfolio." This statement seems strange to me, being as the the prior paragraphs were about Google shuttering many of their products.
Google may not have historically had great "editing" but they seem to be getting there. They're discontinuing products that they don't think will succeed, exactly what "editing" sounds like to me.

#6I'm not quite sure what the author is going on about in that post: 'google is good but they make money so they're not good', 'google makes lots of products, then kills some of them so they're evil', 'google design is not perfect so I don't like them'.
It seems like he started from the assumption that Google is evil then he went rambling around that without making a coherent argument.
And I think by "rodeo" he meant IO? it's gibberish.

Editing takes place before publishing, not after. A newspaper that prints a dozen retractions per day is not well edited.

#10I agree: it's anticompetitive to give increased search prominence to sites willing to link to a Google+ profile.
